I reckon the mystery player is a striker but if we are bringing more than one in, i'm going to take a wild stab at Harry Maguire at Hull, who's out of contract in the summer.

My choice for the 'Guess the mystery player' contest is Alex Bruce.

He'll get a move to a Premier League club if that's the case.

If having watched all of the Swans games this season my belief was that Taylor was anything other than a cnut masquerading as a LB then I think I'd have to beat the fuck out of myself with a slab of frozen beef. Forget Jordan Ayew, I'd have swapped Taylor for Jordan, you know Katie fucking Price, as ultimately with either of them on the pitch all I could see is a pair of tits. If he just sat on the bench and avoided acting like a petulant child he'd be an improvement. As said though we are now beginning to look as if we have some legs about us for the final third. After all some people have a glass ceiling that can't be shattered and Taylor's was thirty yards shy of the opponent's goal line.

I wonder if the Bruce comment about us keeping our gobs shut regarding a potential new signing is a little dig at our owners use of twitter

SSN confirmed that we're chasing Rhodes in a deal worth in excess of £9m.

Regarding Ayew, surely that won't just be a straight swap without cash or another player coming our way?!

It says in the story I read it's Taylor plus a good amount of cash. We were offered Barrow but preferred the cash.

Fair enough. I can't see a place in the team for Ayew so I'd be happy with that then.

Bruce has said in his conference this morning that one deal is close that has not been mentioned ??

Gradel?

Is only me who keeps getting the Dreidel song stuck in his head whenever that name pops up?

Gradel, Gradel, Gradel, I made you out of clay...

No my brother and I sing that too when he's on

If that's true I wonder if another winger deal is in the pipeline? I hope so, wingers are fun.
